A gunman opened fire early Sunday morning and wounded five men who were sitting in a McDonald’s drive-through lane in North Dallas, police said.

Police said the shooting might have been sparked an argument earlier in the night at a nearby night club.

Around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, the men — all ages 18-21 — were in a car outside the fast-food restaurant in the 2400 block of Royal Lane. One man told police that a man opened the trunk of an old, white Chevrolet Impala and pull out a large gun that was covered in a towel. The gunman then began shooting at the group’s car, according to a police report.

Four of the men took bullets below the waist. Another was hit in the neck, police said.

The shooter hopped into a newer model red Impala, according to the report.

The men were taken to hospitals and treated for their injuries.

There were three different caliber rounds recovered from the scene, police said. Our Robert Wilonsky reported hearing more than a dozen gunshots from a few miles away.
